   There needs to be some locking in the registration path doesn't there
   to prevent two calls to register the same name and other possible conflicts.
   So do you want to use dev_base lock or some other locking?
   
Good point.  We can't be as "fast and loose" with this as we
can with the hotplug invocation...

I can't come up with a usable solution at this moment. :(
